I'll be amazed if this is a deal being done in such a public way, I would have thought any negotiations would have been done in private.
If in the unlikely event of another Ryanair stint in Norn Iron I would again ask is it because City management is so good or simply that Aldergrove management couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery?
Incidentally the taxi driver I was talking to was spot on in his information about extra stands. I was speaking to my source at City and they said surveying is almost complete at the old terminal area and work is imminent and should be complete before the summer schedule.
